Former interim U.S. attorney Michael R. Sherwin, of Washington, reiterated Sunday that he thinks charges of seditious conspiracy could be brought against certain defendants in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, a rarely invoked charge for those who use violence to hinder the execution of federal law.
In a “60 Minutes” interview aired on CBS two days after he stepped down from supervising the investigation, Sherwin said, “I personally believe the evidence is trending toward that, and probably meets those elements.”
“I believe the facts do support those charges. And I think that, as we go forward, more facts will support that,” he said.
Sherwin’s comments echo those he made Jan. 26, when he said, “We are closely looking at evidence related to the sedition charges. . . . We are working on those cases. I think the results will bear fruit very soon.”
Since that time, prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office for District of Columbia, which has led the inquiry, have charged about 20 members of the Proud Boys — a far-right group with a history of violence — with leading some of the earliest and most aggressive efforts to breach the Capitol.
On Friday, authorities unsealed the latest indictment, charging four Proud Boys leaders from Washington state, Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania with conspiracy to aid and abet the obstruction of Congress’s confirmation of the 2020 presidential election and police attempts to protect the Capitol from rioting that led to five deaths and 130 police assaults.
Prosecutors and the FBI also have accused 10 members and affiliates of the Oath Keepers with conspiring to obstruct Congress.

And, What violence did the peaceful protesters at the capitol do?
Oh, good grief! Have all of the good defense lawyers been death-threatened away already? Where is Matlock when you need him?
All rioters are seditious but some are more seditious than others.
Antifa was in the Capitol and staged all the damage and shooting.
Who? Pelosi?
The “siege” was staged.
The SEDITION occurred on November 4, 2020 at 0300.
The commie demonrats are doing their usual projection.
They need to be ARRESTED and JAILED for unleashing a bio weapon and conspiring with the CCP to install an UNCONSTITUTIONAL REGIME.
FIVE LONG YEARS of sedition by top government officials to overthrow the duly elected government of the USA and multiple false criminal accusations against the President and -— NOTHING.
A few people distraught by the blatant Democrat fraud during the bogus election managed to get swept into the capitol and it’s sedition.
This nation is really sick.
Big talk with no evidence to back it up hoping that the big talk taints the jury pool.
Some “human rights” group compared this case to the one in Oregon in 2016 the standoff at the wildlife refuge.
If that is true the FBI’s fingerprints are all over this with informants and entrapment of the accused.
Some say that Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and Three Percenters were there.
Others speak of the Boogaloo Bois, the Anarchists, the Antifa, Black Lives Matter being at the Capitol on January 6th.
But consider this all of the above groups have one thing in common.
The presence of FBI and or law enforcement informants and or undercover agents.
People who will and have committed illegal acts including violence and people who also entrap others in their conversations and or actions.
Congress is guilty of sedition.
They’re going to try to sell this vapor to a jury?
These gov lawyers got their degrees out of Cracker Jack boxes.
Sedition...horse apples.
Sedition can be a capital offence.
They are over reaching.
They do not even have a cause of death on the officer concerned.
But who shot Ashli Babbit?.....crickets
